This is Christian prophecy: responding to evil with good, to hatred with love, to division with reconciliation. Faith transforms reality from within.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Our life spreads light when it is given in service. The secret of joy is living to serve.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Mary lived Jesus’ Beatitudes like no other: she is saintly among the saints, she shows us the way to holiness and accompanies us.

Scientists warn that constant fear and anger are bad for our health, while being compassionate and warm-hearted contributes to our physical and mental well-being. Therefore, just as we observe physical hygiene to stay well, we need to cultivate a kind of emotional hygiene too.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The word "happy" or "blessed" becomes a synonym for "holy", because those faithful to God, by their self-giving, gain true happiness. #GaudeteetExsultate

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

If sometimes the flame of charity seems to die in our hearts, it never dies in the heart of God!

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Peace has a great deal to do with warm-heartedness and respect for the lives of others, avoiding doing them harm and regarding their lives as being as precious as our own. If, on that basis, we can also be of help to others, so much the better.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

God, who cannot be outdone in generosity, still uses you and me to help our brothers and sisters.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Goodness, together with love, justice and solidarity, are not achieved once and for all; they have to be realized each day.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We must not wait to be perfect before responding to the Lord who calls us, but rather open our hearts to His voice.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Contemplating the Baby Jesus, with His humble and infinite love, let us say to Him, very simply: “Thank you for doing all this for me!”

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Some people mistakenly conclude that cultivating compassion is all about others’ benefit, whereas the first benefit is to us. Compassion brings us peace of mind. It attracts friends. Friends are based on trust and trust develops when we show concern for others.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Global action is needed in order to reduce pollution and at the same time promote development in poorer countries.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

When we are feeling sad, when it feels like everything is going wrong, we should remember: “God loves me. God never abandons me”.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Other people are gifts to be received with respect, especially if they are weak and frail, because Christ comes to meet us in them.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Education today needs not only to develop our intelligence, but also to support basic human values of warm-heartedness and compassion.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Europe has a unique patrimony of ideals and spiritual values, one that deserves to be proposed again with passion and renewed vigour.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

None of us is an island, autonomous and independent from others. We can only build the future by standing together, including everyone.
